White House Insists Trump Has 'Lost Money' Since Being President Despite 'Corruption' Accusations: 'He Left a Life of Luxury'

The White House claimed President Trump has lost money during a press conference Friday.X
White House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt insisted President Donald Trump has "lost money" since beginning his second term despite a report revealing he and his family have allegedly generated $2.9 billion in cryptocurrency earnings.
Leavitt defended the White House's ethics on Friday after a reporter asked whether he plans to visit any of his businesses during his upcoming trip to the Middle East. Just over the past two weeks, Donald Trump Jr. and Eric Trump have inked new ventures involving billions of dollars, including a $1 billion, 80-story Trump International Hotel and Tower in Dubai, which will sells units that cost up to $20 million, The New York Times reported.
"Not to my knowledge, and let me just get to the premise of your question that both of you have raised," Leavitt responded in a clip circulating on X. "I think it's frankly ridiculous that anyone in this room would even suggest that President Trump is doing anything for his own benefit."

"He left a life of luxury and a life of running a very successful real estate empire for public service, not just once but twice," Leavitt continued, adding that he was voted back into the White House because Americans "trust he acts in the best interest of our country and putting the American public first."
"This is a president who has actually lost money for being president of the United States," Leavitt claimed. "I don't remember these same types of questions being asked of my predecessor about a career politician who was clearly profiting off of this office. That is not what President Trump does and this White House holds ourselves to the highest of ethical standards," she added.
Although Leavitt claimed that the president has lost money, a report from State Democracy Defenders Action, a nonpartisan lobbying and advocacy organization, found that the Trump family has profited $2.9 billion from cryptocurrency during the past six months alone.
Trump's cryptocurrency empire is expected to expand further after his cryptocurrency company, World Liberty Financial, announced an Abu Dhabi-backed firm will invest $2 billion in the company in 2025. President Trump and his sons hold a 60% ownership stake in World Liberty Financial and will receive 75% of net revenue from future token sales, according to CBS News.
Meanwhile, from within the White House, Trump has continued to champion cryptocurrency. In March, he signed an executive order establishing a "Crypto Strategic Reserve" as part of his effort to position the U.S. as the "crypto capital of the world."

You could not write comedy like this. Karoline Leavitt is going to put SNL and the Daily Show out of work.
I could!
And now he has to live in that shithole at 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue for another 4 years!

😅😂😅😂😅Wow! Just unbelievable the level of lying, it's like a comedy skit gone wild.
77+ million morons hang on his every word as gospel ...
Not so sure about that, but I did find this graphic on his net worth 2014-2024. He did lose significant wealth during his last term, but I doubt it had much to do with him being President.
He started losing money because a lot of the places that he had deals with started backing out when they realized what a turd in the pool he was.
Doodie!
They think the American people are stupid. Based on who won the last presidential election, it's hard to argue with that.
They are.
... painfully and pathetically.
Lunatics like this fuckhead are trying to take some of the heat off of trump

Roger Stone Calls for Democratic Senator To Be Tried for ‘Treason’ and ‘Executed’ ...

Roger Stone , a longtime ally of President Donald Trump , called for the execution of Sen. Mark Kelly (D-AZ), accusing him of “treason” in a social media post.
Stone made the statement on his X page after sharing a post by Kelly that criticized Trump’s recent crypto venture.
“Senator Mark Kelly is cashing in on his US Senate seat as a partner in a Chinese communist company that makes surveillance balloons,” Stone wrote. “He should be charged with treason and if convicted executed, consistent with federal law.”
Kelly’s original post accused Trump of profiting from his presidency by launching a meme coin that made Trump billions on paper after the election.
“Trump is cashing in on his presidency and making millions from his own crypto coins,” Kelly wrote Thursday. “It’s corruption in broad daylight.”
Kelly said he was co-sponsoring legislation that, if passed, would ban the president, the vice president, members of Congress, and other federal officials from issuing or promoting cryptocurrency assets for personal gain.
Gabrielle Giffords , Kelly’s wife and a former Arizona congresswoman who survived an assassination attempt in 2011, responded to Stone’s comments on Friday.
“Elon Musk called my husband @CaptMarkKelly a traitor. Yesterday, Roger Stone said he should be executed for treason,” she wrote on her X page. “After last year, Trump and his allies should understand that the threat of political violence is real. It stole a job that I loved. Inciting violence is unAmerican — it’s what extremists do. Anyone serious about protecting this country should know the difference.”
Stone replied to Giffords Friday evening, writing:
Giffords was shot in the head during a constituent event in Tucson in 2011. Six people were killed and more than a dozen others were injured in that attack.
In July of last year, Trump was wounded in the ear in an attempted assassination during a campaign rally in Butler, Pennsylvania.
Trump’s meme coin was rolled out in January and was followed by the release of a meme coin for his wife, First Lady Melania Trump .
... I wonder how many it takes to make a 6 inch stack, and if that all nude club in south beach is still operating?
poor melania, her husband will already be in the ground the last time she gets stiffed by him ...
misdirection, deflection, and a steady stream of maga bullshit ...
It's amazing how shit like this gets a pass, but "8647" is supposed to land Comey in prison.
Difference is Stone is an idiot but called for a trial and then punishment.
Comey is the former head of the FBI, and he put out a message that Trump should be taken out without a trial, or not even accusations of wrongdoing.
You have proof that he didn't mean "fired"? Please present it.
I don't but the fact remains that you tried to compare a relative nobody to the former head of the FBI where one called for charges, a trial, then punishment, the other just called for him being taken out with no substantial accusations, no call for charges, no trial, just taken out....no matter how you want to define "86".
my state is full of what maga considers level playing fields, we call them ski resorts ...
"86" generally means fired. People are 86'd with cause and within the procedural norms of their employers all the time. And they've been 86'd without cause and in opposition to those procedures by Trump and Musk.
When Trump actually pulls this shit, you lap it up.
When Comey suggests it, you want his head.
When Stone calls for an execution for acts that in no way could be considered criminal, you're silent.
I thought we weren't supposed to make it personal....but of course, since.......
"When Comey suggests it, you want his head."
"When Stone calls for an execution for acts that in no way could be considered criminal, you're silent"
Show me where I did either of these things. Hell, I didn't even know about the Stone thing until this seed. Unlike many leftists, I don't let people I hate live in my head rent free.
You are correct with 86 meaning being fired, but it also can be defined as getting rid of.
You asked me how do I know Comey didn't mean getting fired and I honestly answered.
Now, how do you know he didn't mean getting taken out lethally?
I'm glad maga is making such a bfd about 8647. I hope it continues to trend for a long time. I also hope it follows their tea party to teabags debacle and backfires in their faces. I like the idea of them thinking and trying to convince others that it means a lot of non-maga americans want their 10kt gold plated bag of shit POTUS ganked. maybe it will lead some to clarity and bring them back to being more pro-democracy and lot more like a patriotic american.
I don't. But in the grand tradition of the Trump supporter, I'll choose not to believe that he did, even if he expressly said that Trump's brains should be blown out.
1. He didn't say that.
2. Well, he did, but he was only joking. People just don't understand him.
3. It was taken out of context.
4. Others have said much worse.
That's the typical way of things, as I recall. What's sauce for the goose...
exactly. nicely done ...
‘don't. But in the grand tradition of the Trump supporter, I'll choose not to believe that he did, even if he expressly said that Trump's brains should be blown out.’
Of course, this is a SG, but since…..
But in the grand scheme of things, to MOST Biden supporters,
‘He is sharp as a tack’
’He does circles around the White House staff’
Was so much more believable s/
... a growing sentiment among americans willing to defend our democracy and the constitution.
...
that's still letting people live in your head rent free. If you hate someone...they're in that tiny space, jumping on your bed, making messes in the kitchen, eating all your groceries, torturing your cat....
yea, but shes worth it...
Who do you hate? I don't see you being a hater
I tend to love to hate haters, am intolerant of tolerance, and, if i could, i would become a make up artist, but since i often forget to remember, i always remember to forget the past violations and take a nipper, cause thwith a chainsaw, they/it all fit easier into the wood chipper....
you mean that vast brainwashed wasteland ...
as long as they're not frozen and have been hung up to dry for awhile ...
I say tiny space....you say vast brainwashed wasteland
tomato tomAto
that might not be as messy
a possible contribution to making america great again ...
The best anyone can say about Roger Stone is that he is a low-life scumbag.
i could probably best that
bodyguards should be a non-qualifying business expense on tax returns ...
stone deserves to have some street art dedicated to him, like an abstract mural on the side of a building in miami ...
to be fair, he says he's giving back his salary as POTUS, as long as everybody forgets about the emoluments clause in the constitution ...
